Bulgaria U-21 takes on the visitors Greece U-21 in the friendly match. The game will be played on Monday, June 12th.
Bulgaria U-21 predecessors showed appropriate results at the qualifying group stage to the 2016 UEFA European Under-21 Championship: the side occupied the second place in the Group 5 standings with 17 points taken and 11-7 goal difference, however, it failed to progress to the Championship’s final stage. In 2017 Bulgaria U-21 conducted two clashes resulting in 0:1 loss to FYR Macedonia U-21 and 1:0 victory over Georgia U-21. It should be noted that the team’s football in those encounters left controversial impressions.

Greece U-21 demonstrated weaker performance comparing to its upcoming rival at the qualifying group stage to the 2016 UEFA European Under-21 Championship: the side settled on the third place in the Group 4 table with 13 points earned and 13-14 goal difference. In 2017 the updated squad of Greek youth team participated in two matches recording 2:1 triumph over Hungary U-21 and 1:3 defeat to Serbia U-21. Alike to its A-team, Greece U-21 side focuses on the defense, nevertheless, it not always manages to gain clean-sheets.
Bulgaria U-21 and Greece U-21 are not among the top-teams of the same age. They are able to show solid football in a few clashes, still, in overall they feel lack of consistency. Both opponents are not very efficient in offense, thus a lot of scored goals are not likely to be scored in their head-to-head. I also do not believe that even one of the rivals will be able to demonstrate effective attacking play all of a sudden.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
